This grant, offered by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), is for fostering collaborative research aimed at advancing neuroscience infrastructure for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) across Africa. Specifically, this funding opportunity supports the development and enhancement of crucial research resources, such as tools, surveys, biospecimens, and data platforms. The NIA seeks to enable transformative collaborations between US and African institutions/scientists. This grant is for the purpose of initiating pilot or exploratory studies, ultimately contributing to the long-term goal of building sustainable AD/ADRD neuroscience research capacity and research, which will lead to effective prevention and mitigation strategies relevant to the African context.

| Description: | This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) promotes collaborative research programs to support the development/enhancement of infrastructure (e.g., tools, surveys, biospecimens, data) for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (AD/ADRD) neuroscience research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Africa. Specifically, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) seeks to support Phase Innovation Awards Cooperative Agreement (UG3/UH3) projects to enable: (1) the formation of transformative collaborations between institutions/scientists in the US and LMICs in Africa; (2) the development, or enhancement of research infrastructure and resources for studies of AD/ADRD neuroscience relevant to Africaas well as to examine how social or behavioral factors influence AD/ADRD in Africa; (3) the initiation of pilot or exploratory studies that will inform future research for AD/ADRD neuroscience in Africa. These research infrastructure programs are expected to contribute to the long-term goals of building sustainable AD/ADRD neuroscience research capacity and research,ultimately leading to prevention and mitigation strategies for AD/ADRD in Africa. Income categories for LMICs in Africa are defined by the World Bank at http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-classifications/country-and-lending-groups. |
